Says Leader Are Necessary,
But Not Bosses Criti
cises Supreme Court.
SAYS LINCOLN AND
TAFT DID SAME THING
Syracuse, X. Y., Sept. 17. Theodore
Roosevelt returned to the defence of his
new nationalism today, as "was specific
ally indicated in the title of his address
at the state fair here "The New Na
tionalist and the Old Morality."
"The new nationalism," he said,
"means nothing but an application to
new condkions of certain old and funda
mental moralities. It means an invita
tion to meet the new problems of the
p'resent day In precisely the spirit in
-which Lincoln and the men of his day
met their new problems."
To his critics no put this issue: "Is
any party -willing to take the other side
of the proposition's of which complaint
is made?
"If so, it "would be a good thing to
have the issue before the people, for In
the end the people would most certainly
decide In favor -of the principles em
bodied in the new nationalism, because
otherwise this country could not con
tinue' to be a true republic, a true de
mocracy." t (
Criticises Supreme Court.
The speaker followed with a justifi
cation of his attacks on the supreme
court of the United States. He cnose
two arguments one, that iri his criti
cisms he had merely echoed the mi
nority opinions of the court itself, the
other jhe had illustrious precedent the
example of Abraham Lincoln, who, he
said, had been far more outspoken than
he himself had ever been', and the ex
ample of president Taft from whose
utterances 15 years ago in favor of pub
lic criticism of the courts he quoted.
"Take for Instance," he continued,
"what I said in reference to late de
cisions of the supreme court. One de
cision was in the Knight Sugar case, in
which, according to the dissenting opin
ion of justice Harlan, the court placed
the public 'so far as national power is
concerned (the only power which could
be effective) entirely at the mercy of
the combinations which arbitraily con
trol the prices of articles purchased to
be transported from one state Into an
other tate.
"I merely took the view which the
learned justice had taken in his dissent
ing .opinion. Those -who criticise me
are also criticising a justice of the su-
preme court, Mr. Harlan. So my critics
take the position that tne people
shall not be able to control the activ:
t'es and management of these great
corporations doing an interstate busi
ness. If so, let them frankly avow tnsir
position. If not let them cease their
criticism."
The other case mentioned was one
prohibiting New York state to regulate
hours of work in bake shops: and again
the speaker said, had based his criti
cism on a dissenting opinion within the
court itself.
Lincoln Was Criticized.
"Fifty-three years ago." he continued,
"Abraham Lincoln -was assailed far his
repeated criticisms of the supreme .court
in the 'Dred Scott case," As regards
tnis decision he announced, not once,
but again and again, that he held it to
be not merely the right but the duty of
citizens who felt, that judicial decisions
were erroneous and damaging, loyally
to abide by the decisions as long as they
stood, but to try hard to secure their re

Interesting BincusiIonH.
Yesterday afternoon's session of the
ronvention was interesting.
J. M. McLeese of the Carrizo Springs

ence and was enthusiastic enough to
imbue all his hearers with the booster
Fpirit. Mr. McLeese stated that within
the last year his town had more tnan

being as follows: 'We do not propose to
disturb the rights of property thus
settled. We propose. so resisting the
decision as to have if restored if we
can and a new judicial rule established,
upon the subject.'
"He repeated this statement in
slightly different language In speech
after speech. Moreover he used very
strong language about the decision
far stronger than I dream of using or
that it would be proper to use about
the decisions with which I now deal.

At any rate if I have erred, in com
menting as I have commented upon the
decisions in question, I err in company
with Abraham Lincoln. The criticism
of me is perhaps well summed up In
the following speech of an eminent
public man: 'He makes war on the de

Sunday's Dedication.
FIREWORKS IN
A RAINY SKY
Rain has played havoc with the cen
tenary celebration in Ciudad Juarez, but
an accumulation of postponed events
will occur Sunday, when governor Jose
Maria Sanchez, of Chihuahua, will ar
rive and participate in the inaugura
tion of the now statue of Benito Juarez
at 3 a. m. The rain of Friday, and riv
ers of mud in every street of the Mex
ican city caused postponement of the
pageant of soldiers and school chil
dren, which was booked for Friday aft
ernoon. Also the program of oratory
and music to have been held in the
plaza was postponed. However, the
newly improved Constitution plaza was
crowded all during the afiternoon and
night, and a continuous band concert
was in progress until a late hour.
The display of fireworks was also
made last night, the city shooting rock
ets into the heavens in defiance of the
clouds continuance hindrance of the
festival. The crowJs of celebrators
threw confetti about the plaza, and all
was in festive, though muddy attire.
Today little is scheduled, it being a
timo of rest in preparation for the big
events of Sunday. From the time gov
ernor Sanchez arrives on the morning
National railway train until midnight,
there will be something doing. The
pageant will be held in the morning,
escorting the governor from the sta
tion. At 12:30, the banquet to the gov
ernor will bs held in hotel Porfirlo
Diaz, and at A oclock in the afternoon
the women of the cities' will entertain
at a tea in the patio of the customs
house. Both events are invited af
fairs to a limited number "of guests.
Inclement weather also stunted the
celebration of Mexicans in El Paso. At
the smelter Friday night there was
to have been a ball but there was none.
The dancing pavillion was too damp for
dancing, but a program of patriotic
speeches, music and recitations en
tertained a large crowd. There was a
dance, however, at Maya hall on Okla
home avenue. A group of young women
dressed in the national trl-colors of
Mexico, sang the national hymn, and
there were speeches.

MURDERERS' PLANS
FAIL COMPLETELY
Shoot Man and Put Him on
Railroad Track JBut
Train Misses Him.
Roswell. N. M., Sept. 17. The scheme
of three or four Mexicans to murder
Romano Martinez, one of their country
men, at Malaga, south of Carlsbad, and
to put the blame on the railroad com
pany and bad whisky, failed utterly.
Martinez, aged about 30 years, was shot
with a shotgurt and his head badly
bruised. He was then placed on the
track by his assailants, and a guitar
and a jug half full of whisky placed
by his side, to create the appearance
that he was drunk and had been run
over by the train.
The man sprawled into the middle
of the track and the train passed over
him without touching him and he was
not mutilated.
He was taken to Carlsbad for medical
attention and revived consciousness and
gave the names of .three or four Mexi
cans who were his assailants.
Sheriff Stewart and deputies are
scouring the country for the accused
men. Martinez will very probably re
cover. The guitar was smashed by the train,
but the jug of whisky was not broken.

was coming to this country to see that

Robert Wintnrop Chanler turned over
to the diva what is. said to be His en

Mr. Osborn flatly denied that Mme.
Cavalieri has accepted a compromise
rather than engage in litigation. "Mme.
Cavalieri," he said, "stands on her
rights and she is coming over here to
see that she gets them."
It was asserted for a time that Cava
lieri and her husband were not separ
ated nor estranged even the diva's
brother made this assertion on the re
turn of Chanler to America but now
It appears that the report of their
break, after only a few weeks of wed-
ded life, are true. The brother makes
the assertion that Chanler s uncon
trolable temper" caused the break and
says that Chanler threw bread at his
wife when they were at the table.
CHANLER DEEDS HIS
ESTATE TO WIPE
New York Artist Settles All
He Has on Cavalieri,
the Singer.
New York, Sept. 17. The prenuptia
agreement between Mme. Lina Cava
lieri, the opera singer, and Robert

The agreement was made on the last
day of May of this year in Paris be
tween Mr. Chanler and the singer,
whose assumed name Is given as Nata
lina, and states that whereas a mar
riage was abou't to be solemnized be
tween tlte two, and that doubts might
arise as to their mutual property
rights, it was agreed that the property
of each of them, both present and fut
ure, should remain the separate prop
erty and under the sole control of each
of them.
The agreement then recitesj that In
consideration of the said Intended mar
riage of the sum of $1 that Mr. Chan
ler gives to Mme. Cavalieri "all those
three farms, known respectively as Cola
farm. Chowell and Benna farms in Red
Hook, N. Y., approximately 350 acres
and subject to a mortgage of $S000."
The agreement further provides that
Mr. Chanler turns over to Mme. Cava
lieri the land and buildings in New
York city, comprising in all 30 pieces
and concludes "and all realty forming:
part of the share of the above named
Robert WInthrop Chanler of and in the
estate of the late Mrs. Lauro Delano,
subject to a mortgage of $140,000."
The agreement provides further that
Mr. Chanler agrees to pay. the yearly
sum of $20,000 to Mme. Cavalieri dur
ing her life, by four quarterly install
ments of S5000 each, the first of which
shall be paid within 30 days of the
marriage.
To secure the payment of the 520,
000 yearly Mr Chanler in the agree
ment gave his bride power to collect
the amounts due, if otherwise unpaid
by him out of the money coming to
him from the Income of the Chanler
estate trust fund.
